 | | Generally, a glide is constructed by a mirror operation followed by a translation along a/2, b/2, c/2 (a,b,c), a face diagonal (a+b)/2, (a+c)/2, (b+c)/2 (in all cases denoted n) or, in case of d along (a+b)/4, (a+c)/4 or (b+c)/4. |
 | | The commonly used space group symbols are the short Hermann-Mauguin symbols, consisting of a Bravais symbol followed by the symmetry operators generating the equivalent positions (equipoints). |
 | | In case of the presence of anomalous contributions, a mixing of sin and cos terms breaks the centrosymmetry and the magnitude are not identical for Friedel opposites. |
